Mission Statement

For over 25 years, the Abyssinian Development Corporation (ADC) has accomplished a great deal through its mission to "rebuild Harlem, brick by brick, block by block." As we continue our commitment to uplifting the Harlem community through comprehensive programs and services, fortifying the family unit from early childhood to seniors is crucial to completely fulfilling this charge

Description

Founded in 1989, Abyssinian Development Corporation is a not-for-profit comprehensive community and economic development corporation dedicated to building the human, social, and physical capital in Harlem.

In 1987, Reverend Dr. Calvin O. Butts, III rallied The Abyssinian Baptist Church parishioners to work to rebuild this community brick by brick and block by block. ADC has grown into a nationally renowned entity at the forefront of the community development field.
